VAC, 50 Hz). Use of other power supplies
may cause a malfunction.
• Be sure to use the power cord provided.
230-240V
Antennas
• To prevent the inuence of radio interference,
set up the antenna away from busy roads,
overhead railway lines, electricity feeder
lines, and neon signs. This is also effective
in preventing accidents from electric shock in
the event that the antenna falls over.
• Do not place objects on top of this product.

Notes on Use (continued)
Recommendations (continued)
Avoid direct sunlight or steam.
• Do not install this product in direct sunlight
or near heating equipment. Doing so may
adversely inuence the chassis or components.
• Leaving this product in locations such as
vehicles with closed windows that become
excessively hot may deform the chassis or
cause this product to malfunction.
Use in low-temperature rooms and
locations
• If this product is installed in a cold room or
location, smears may appear in the picture
or the picture may be delayed on screen.
This is not a malfunction. These phenomena

on the heating on a winter’s morning), condensation (water droplets) may form on its
surface or inside. Continued use in this condition may cause malfunction. If condensation
occurs, wait a while for the condensation to
disappear before plugging the power cord
into the power outlet.

• Many plastic parts are used on the chassis. Avoid using benzene, paint thinner and
other organic solvents to clean the chassis
as these may deform the chassis or cause
paint to peel.
• Avoid spraying the chassis with volatile substances such as insect spray. Also, do not
use this product for an extended period of
time with products made of rubber or vinyl
in direct contact with the chassis. Doing so
may deform the chassis as a result of action
of the plasticizer contained in the plastic or
cause paint to peel.

How to use the remote control
• When operating the remote control, point its top edge at the
remote control IR receiver on the TV. Operate the remote control
within seven meters, 30° on the left and right and 15° above and
below the receiver.
• If the TV cannot be operated by remote control operation (but by
the buttons on the TV), a probable cause is that the batteries in
the remote control have reached the end of their service life.
• Replace with new batteries.
• Do not leave or attach the remote control in a location subject to direct sunlight.
• Heat may deform the remote control and cause it to malfunction.
• The remote control becomes more difcult to operate if direct sunlight or bright overhead lighting falls
on the remote control IR receiver on the TV. Either re-orient the lighting or TV, or bring the remote
control closer to the remote control IR receiver.
• Do not subject the remote control to strong impact. Also, do not allow it to get wet or leave it in very
hot locations.

• About Equipment with an HDMI or DVI jack
• Use the HDMI (High Denition Multimedia Interface) jack when available as this connection is recommended for best quality picture
and audio.
• If there is only a DVI jack then DVI to HDMI cables are commercially available. DVI only supplies a video signal so connect audio
cable too. If connecting from DVI source to the HDMI1 jack, connect audio to the Audio3 jack. If connecting to the HDMI2 jack,
connect audio to the Audio4 jack. Then go to the “Audio Setup” menu and select audio input to choose Audio3 or Audio4.
• About the Component Video Jack
• Component video signals are also called “color difference signals.” Component video is sent through three cables: one brightness
(luminance or black-and-white component) signal and two color shade (chrominance, or blue: B-Y and red: R-Y) signal. As the
brightness and color shade signals are recorded separately from each other on a digital tuner or DVD, component video achieves
greater color accuracy (e.g. less color smear) than regular video signals that are obtained by combining the brightness and color
shade signals.
